“The French election is very important to the future of France and the values that we care so much about,” Obama said in the message, distributed by Macron’s camp.
Macron “has stood up for liberal values … He is committed to a better future for the French people. He appeals to people’s hopes and not their fears,” the former president said.
“I am supporting Emmanuel Macron to lead you forward,” Obama said, concluding his statement with the French title of Macron’s party “En Marche!” (Onwards!) and “Vive la France!”.
Macron is widely seen as the favorite to beat the National Front’s Marine Le Pen in Sunday’s runoff vote.
Frum yidden should be supporting La-Pen. Too much yiddisha blood was spilled in France by muslim beasts We need a candidate thats tough on those animals. Don’t let naziphobia get in your way. Its not a 21st century threat. I don’t see any yiiden who got hurt from the far right so far. Contrast that with muslims. Be a forward thinker.
Did he get paid another 400K for that one?
Well of course he would!
why is NoBama allowed to endorse a foreign candidate and Putin is not allowed to endorse Trump over Billary – is this DOUBLE STANDARD FOR MUSLIMS?
Many commenters here got off topic since we are discussing who is better for France not who is better in the USA . In France the only vicous attacks were by Muslims so far .
To the USA, one more Pointer , I think it’s too small headed to only look at the USA and say hey it’s not only Muslims they are other nut jobs too . One has to look at the whole west including Israel and Europe . And when you look at the entire west , Muslims are the danger
